Campaign Speaker for the Re-
Of all the orators busy in extolling
the virtues of the political party em
ploviag them, ami pointing out
wherein the other parties might be
bette”, Anna Dickinson is the one
most talked about at the present
time. She is the only woman “on the
stump,” excepting Belva Lockwood,
who seems to be the solitary speaker
in her party, and has the talk all to
herself; and her efforts in Indiana are
followed by remarkable results, both
parties claiming to profit by them.
More years ago than it would be po
lite to*say, the fair Anna was a public
speaker of triumphant power. That
her prestige is still eminent, ap
pears in the fact of her engagement as
an orator by the great republican
party.
Anna Elizabeth Dickinson was
born in Philadelphia on the 28th of
October. 1842.
Owing to her mother's limited
means, she was educated at the tree
schools of the Society of
Friends. When twelve years
of age, she entered Westown
“Boarding School of Friends,” and re
mained there two years; thence she
went to the “Friends Select School"
in Philadelphia, where she pursued a
dozen branches of study at a time, yet
seldom failed in a recitation. At tour
teen she published an article on slav
ery, in the Liberator. When seven
teen she left school and began the
hard work of life. A remark which
she made about this time, to the com
mittee-man of a country school, aptly
illustrates her independent spirit. He
had told her that the position she was
about to fill had formerly been occu
pied by a man at a salary of twenty
eight dollars a month, but that they
would not pay a girl more than six
teen. Something in his manner
aroused the rebellious spirit within
her, and she replied, with great ve
hemence: “Sir! Are you a fool, or
do you take me for one? Though I
am too poor today to buy a pair ot cot
ton gloves, I would rather go in rags
than degrade my womanhood by ac
cepting anything at your hands.”
After a few efforts in the line of
speech making at the meetings of
“Progressive Friends ” she was in
vited to speak in Mullica hall, New
.Jersey, in April, 1860. Her subject
was, “Woman’s Work.” At this
meeting, and also at the many which
followed at which she spoke, she
created a profound sensation. Her
earnestness of manner, the cogency of
her arguments, her entire forgetful
ness of self, held her audience spell
bound, and she seemed to be able to
rouse them to enthusiasm or fill their
eyes with tea) sat will. Her success
was assured, and speech after speech
followed in rapid succession, for which
she received a hundred dollars a
night. As a campaign speaker she
she did wonders. Wherever she
went the halls were packed. Her
vigorous effort during the contest be
twee.i Seymour and Buckingham in
Connecticut, during the war, may
well be ranked among the crowning
glories of her life. Her name was on
every lip; gifts were showered upon
her, and she was serenaded wherever
she went. For her lecture on the
night preceding the victory of the re
publicans she received four hundred
dollars.
Miss Dickinson attempted the stage
during recent years, appearing in her
own and in Shakespearian plays, but
her success was not marked. She re
covered from a severe illness lately,
and is speaking with great physical
and mental vigor.
